Register Your League

The following steps must be completed to register as an NFL FLAG Football league. You will be unable to order your NFL FLAG equipment until all four steps have been completed. Click here to download a printer friendly version of this checklist.

Step 1: Agree to Terms and Conditions
Step 2: Submit Insurance Information
Step 3: Online Player Waivers and Registration
Step 4: Submit Coaches Information

Step 1: Agree to Terms & Conditions

You may download and view the Terms and Conditions. Once you have read them, please complete the online form to register your league. You only have to register your league once per calendar year. If you have already completed the Terms and Conditions for 2008, proceed to Step 2.

Please note: You must use the same league/organization name throughout the registration process. By using the same league name you will assure a smooth registration process, as well as inclusion in the FLAG zip finder.

Step 2: Submit Insurance Information

Every league is required to provide the NFL with their insurance policy. You must provide an insurance policy for each season in which your league participates. Please view our Insurance Overview for coverage/policy requirements.

You must email a copy of your league's certificate of insurance (as an attachment) to NFL@active.com. Be sure to reference your league's name (the same name from Step 1) in the subject heading of your email. Policies will be accepted in .pdf, .jpg and .gif file formats. If you have questions, please email us at NFL@active.com.

Step 3: Online Player Waivers and Registration

After completing Steps 1 and 2, you will be contacted by an account manager from Active.com to set up NFL FLAG online player registration for your league. Once you've completed the brief setup with your account manager, parents will be able to register their child online to play in your league.

As a registered NFL FLAG league, the online registration system, reporting tools and customer support are provided at no additional cost to you or your parents.

Please note: The NFL can no longer accept any paper waivers. Equipment orders will not be shipped unless all participants have agreed to the NFL FLAG Player Waiver and registered online.

Step 4: Submit Coaches' Information

Selecting coaches:

Finding qualified coaches is essential to the teams’ success and the players’ experience.

A good NFL FLAG coach understands the principles of football, but is also experienced in teaching basic physical skills to young players. Participation by all players is part of NFL FLAG’s philosophy, so coaches must be able to make each player feel a part of the team.

In addition, coaches must adhere to NFL FLAG guidelines, which dictate that there is no verbal or physical abuse of players and no extensive practices. Failure of coaches to follow these policies may result in revocation of your NFL FLAG league's registration.

Reporting coaches to the NFL:

Every league organizer must provide us with their coaches' information. Please click here for the 2008 coaches' form. For assistance with this step, please email NFL@active.com.
